Favorites & Upcoming.

I get incredibly homesick when I go places. It’s not ideal, but it’s manageable. The excitement of seeing a different setting, where other people are home, is worth feeling far from whatever grounds me. Traveling is important. Does something to the psyche and heart. All the things people say it does. (Some of which aregrounding.) And I think about it, in general, a lot. I’m very excited for some upcoming trips, but right now I’m so happy to be in the Carolinas. In the faux-cold. With buttermilk biscuits (also things I think about a lot). Seeing what you can of the world is personal. It’s choice. What you look at and where you leave. And I love that.

My favorites from last year:

Biarritz, France

Marble, Colorado

Sintra, Portugal

Northern Minnesota

London, UK

Argyll & Bute, Scotland

Charleston, SC

Dream list of places I want to see this year : Beijing & Hong Kong, China. Rome, Italy (Lots of Italy, actually). Anywhere in Iceland. Some cities in Central America. Dubrovnik, Croatia. Austin, TX. I cant stop thinking of these, but obviously the world is big and the list goes on and on (I won’t allow myself access to plan anything Australian. Not yet.)

My boyfriend and I joke nonstop about going to Vegas because he loves it and I.Never.Ever.Want.To.Go.To.Vegas. BUT, alas, Vegas is the most planned, booked, official upcoming trip. How did that happen?

Where and what travels are you most excited about? Favorites or upcoming. I’m curious.

Perhaps love! Perhaps we’ll win big time on the slot machines! Doubtful. San Fran!!! Woo!!!! Have you gone shopping for the occasion? Can’t wait to see photos. San Fran is so dreamy. As are babies! ❤ Clever sign-in name (Aunt, not the mom).
